The official kick off for Going for the Green was last night with a party and some golf at Angus Glen Golf Club. The launch was a great affair, with some special guests, including Ottawa Senators’ owner and Biovail founder Eugene Melnyk.

Did Eugene give you any tips? If sales of the book are below expectations you can blame it on a truck crash and say that the truck was full of thousands of books and if only these had all made it to the stores then all would be well!
What’s special about Eugene Melnyk?….sorry, just kidding. Congrats RT. When do I get a special signed copy of the book or do I need to go to Indigo?
Eugene was there because he is featured in the book, you dumb dumb!
